Description

Landsat 7 Collection 2 Tier 2 DN values, representing scaled, calibrated at-sensor radiance. Scenes not meeting Tier 1 criteria during processing are assigned to Tier 2. This includes Systematic terrain (L1GT) and Systematic (L1GS) processed scenes, as well as any L1TP scenes that do not meet the Tier 1 specifications due to significant cloud cover, insufficient ground control, and other factors. Users interested in Tier 2 scenes can analyze the RMSE and other properties to determine the suitability for use in individual applications and studies. See more information in the USGS docs.

Note that Landsat 7's orbit has been drifting to an earlier acquisition time since 2017.
